General Thoughts: Blue Exorcist is an interesting anime. It is definitely a shounen anime, and it has many of the clichés associated with the genre, however, if you are not annoyed by that, it is a good series. Not great or amazing, but enjoyable.Story: The series starts out following the manga fairly well. Rin discovers that he is the son of Satan and witnesses the death of his foster father: Shiro Fujimoto. I really like how the series portrays Fugimoto's death and the repercussions that occur throughout the series. The series is predictable, but it has a certain charm to it that keeps pulling me back to the series even though I have watched it three times since it aired. I will note that the ending left much to be desired. Even with the movie following the end of the series, the series ended on a read-the-manga ending much like Air Gear and Berserk, and I do not like endings such as this because I feel that the anime and manga should be able to be seen separately as they are separate mediums to tell the story.Characters:The characters are fairly flat and one-dimensional, but they do fit in the series and help guide the plot along. The main reason they fit is because, for a series like this, they don't need to be deep. They only need to fill their various roles so that the viewer can focus on the Orimura brothers and the situation that they are in for each episode.Voices: Aside from the casting of Kirk Thorton as Father Fujimoto, I did not like the English dub by Aniplex. I thought that Bryce Papenbrook was miscast as Rin. Aniplex seems to want to put him into every shonen anime they get lately and it is because of this that I prefer to watch the series subtitled.Sound: The OST is not anything special. The only two tracks worth mentioning are the openings for the show, and even then, I would not listen to them separately from watching the series. But I do give it a pass, because, like the characters, they fill their roles nicely.

It's a very entertaining show. Having the son of satan as the main protagonist and satan as the antagonist. The thing that most encouraged me to continue watching this was the fact that rin, being a demon, wanted to become an exorcist. I'd at least expect him to side with his father, because they both have the same power. The story has its ups and downs and i believe that the way they planned out ...

The character development in this series is one of the best i have seen and i don't regret finishing this series. It kept me on the edge of my seat and didn't disappoint me.

This anime is everything an anime is suppose to be. It has action, humor, bonding moments, and even the big/little brother drama. It blends all these characteristic into a anime that you can't forget. Especially since there are not many animes that have similar story lines.

One thing i know for sure. It is always the good shows that get cancelled or discontinued. I would have loved to see more.

I fell in love with Blue Exorcist from the first episode. The fact that Rin tries so hard to be good even though he has everyone and everything going against him is just heartwarming. It shows the power of friendship in a non-cheesy way, with plenty of action to satisfy the crowd.

Just started watching because i heard the OVA were amazing, well one episode in and i was hook, I couldn't stop watching!! this series really goes all out, and now all i can thinking about is becoming an exorcist. I promise you wont be disappointed.

Blue Exorcist or Ao no Exorcist is one of the best animes I've ever seen, right up there with FMAB. The thing I like most about Blue Exorcist is how it incorporates "Heaven" and "Hell" and uses the seperate universes to base the story off of. I've always liked stories like this, in D.Gray-Man and Hellsing too. The concept of the devil's children was very interesting and I would get chills every ...

Blue Exorcist or Ao no Exorcist is one of the best animes I've ever seen, right up there with FMAB. The thing I like most about Blue Exorcist is how it incorporates "Heaven" and "Hell" and uses the seperate universes to base the story off of. I've always liked stories like this, in D.Gray-Man and Hellsing too. The concept of the devil's children was very interesting and I would get chills every time Rin showed his blue flames, which made me think of naruto's nine-tail power. The action in Blue Exorcist is very good in my opinion and it is interesting to see the characters use their different powers against the demons. The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that it isn't longer, one more season would have been okay for me just to satisfy my thirst for exorcist-vs-demon action.

I really REALLY enjoyed this anime! Started out amazing, but ended a bit... Ok, so, for those of you who have read the manga, you might be a bit disappointed. At first, the anime exclusive plot elements were subtle, but episodes 18-25 took a whole different path from the manga setting. I can't say much without spoiling, and being vague may make what I'm trying to say confusing, but I thought I'd ...

I really REALLY enjoyed this anime! Started out amazing, but ended a bit... Ok, so, for those of you who have read the manga, you might be a bit disappointed. At first, the anime exclusive plot elements were subtle, but episodes 18-25 took a whole different path from the manga setting. I can't say much without spoiling, and being vague may make what I'm trying to say confusing, but I thought I'd just warn the manga fans on this. If you HAVE NOT read the manga, then CONGRATULATIONS, you are going to enjoy this SHIT out of this anime! Really interesting plot, nice character development for the most part, and incredible action! For the non-manga readers, I'd say it ended quite nicely and they wrapped everything up without leaving too many unanswered questions. Manga readers, in episodes 18-25 you're probably gonna be at the edge of your chair screaming "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING??" Also, If you enjoy Aniplex/A-1 Pictures animation style, then you're gonna love this anime. Furthermore, I've noticed that I'm not alone when I say that I REALLY REGRET NOT WATCHING THIS EARLIER. Literally every episode there are like 10 people saying "Why did I procrastinate watching this??" All in all, WATCH THIS. You won't regret it...... unless you read the manga xD

This anime had a awesome main character and characters.The opening and ending were good and awesome.It was very funny only because of episode 5 I believe was the funnies anime episode I had ever seen in my life!!!! The only downside was that it didn't continue. Just watch it its gooooooooooood. You'll like it.
